DC’s Black Adam will be available for streaming on HBO Max starting December 16, according to a tweet by the network. You can check out our review roundup for the superhero movie here.
Black Adam, for the DC Cinematic Universe, is a bit like Marvel’s Deadpool–an undersung character who was brought to the big screen thanks to a big-name actor’s advocacy. The film serves as Black Adam’s origin story, and introduces the Justice Society of America–a group of heroes that predates the Justice League. Dwayne Johnson stars as the anti-hero, and is accompanied by Pierce Brosnan, Viola Davis (reprising her role as Amanda Waller), Sarah Shahi, Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, and Quintessa Swindell.

In October, the film earned $67 million in the US, which made it the biggest start of all time for a solo movie for Johnson. The movie made many millions more from international markets for a global first-weekend start of $140 million.
